The high-profile "scumbag father" is actually a good father!
In recent years, actor Liu Jun has successfully emerged in the north and south of the country with his superb acting skills and unique charm. Especially in the 2018 hit costume drama "Do You Know If You Should Be Green, Fat, Red and Thin", with his deeply rooted performance, he successfully created the image of "Sheng Hong", a "scumbag" who covets interests and ignores family affection, which makes many viewers can't help but be moved during the viewing process, and they all sigh at the superb acting skills.
Sheng Hong's character is addicted to gambling, indifferent to his wife and children, but has an endless pursuit of money and power, which can be called a typical representative of "scumbag father".
In the subsequent 2019 family ethics drama "Children of the Qiao Family", Liu Jun once again portrayed the role of "Qiao Zuwang" vividly with his superb acting skills. The "Qiao Zuwang" he plays in the play is an alcoholic, gambling father who turns a blind eye to family responsibilities, which is undoubtedly the best interpretation of "scumbag father".
Whenever the role of Qiao Zuwang was mentioned, the audience was indignant.
It is precisely because of the wonderful interpretation of these "scum dad" roles that Liu Jun not only won the love of the audience, but also won the reputation of "scumbag dad". The audience's impression of him has always stayed on those characters who are greedy and selfish, valuing profit over relatives.
However, what is unexpected is that in the recent hit TV series "South to North", Liu Jun successfully achieved "transformation". In the play, he plays a loving father who treats his children with great care and considerate of his wife, which is in stark contrast to the image of a "scumbag father" in the past.
In fact, Liu Jun, as a senior actor, whether he plays a "scumbag father" or a loving father, can play with ease, showing the rich and diverse life of the characters. It was only because the previous roles were too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and the contrast was too great that the audience was deeply impressed by him.
However, this situation can also easily lead to misunderstandings about Liu Jun personally. After all, in real life, this old actor who has debuted for nearly 30 years is actually a real "good man".
He not only has a happy marriage, but also has a daughter, and he takes great care of his wife, treating his wife and daughter as the pearl of his palm.
The road from an ordinary electrician to a young actor chasing his dreams
In fact, Liu Jun did not aspire to become an actor from the beginning. Before stepping into the entertainment industry, he was just an unknown electrician, repeating monotonous work in the power company every day, living a dull life.
During that period of time, Liu Jun was always full of anticipation on the days when the unit screened movies every month, whether the film was a martial arts sword or a graceful and moving love story, he could always devote himself wholeheartedly, as if time stood still at that moment.
Perhaps it was the deep immersion of these screen stories that made him gradually sprout an ideal of becoming an actor in his heart, and longed to one day experience the endless joy of playing different roles.
When this idea came to mind, Liu Jun was extremely excited to share his dream with his parents, but unexpectedly, he was strongly opposed by his parents.
In the eyes of his parents, the actor's career is full of uncertainty, and a stable job in the power bureau is regarded as the most reliable "iron rice bowl".
originally thought that he would spend the rest of his life in this "muddy and nightmare" state, but a sudden accident completely changed the trajectory of Liu Jun's life. On that day, he was at work when he accidentally touched a live wire, and in an instant a dazzling light bloomed in front of his eyes, and he panicked and even forgot to escape.
Luckily, the master reacted quickly and rescued him from danger, which saved his life.
This life-and-death experience made Liu Jun firm in his determination to leave his original job. He approached his parents again, elaborated on his ideas and determination, and after unremitting efforts, finally succeeded in convincing them.
Although Liu Jun had been working in the Electric Power Bureau for five years at that time and lacked knowledge, he was not discouraged, but studied hard day and night, and finally was admitted to the famous Xie Jin Academy of Film and Television Arts with excellent results, and since then he has embarked on his acting career.
A long-overdue love and a turning point in life
Liu Jun, who has just stepped into the entertainment industry, faces endless challenges. After graduating, although he played some insignificant roles in some crews, he soon fell into the predicament of having no scenes to film, and his life situation was in trouble for a while.
There was a time when Liu Jun didn't even care about the role of the dragon, and it can be said that he was in a desperate situation.
Just when he felt struggling and helpless, a reminder from a friend was like an enlightenment: "There are many opportunities in big cities, why don't you go to Beijing to explore?" After hearing this suggestion, Liu Jun resolutely went to Beijing alone with enthusiasm and dedication to the career of an actor.
In the 2000th year AD, as a young actor, Liu Jun, when he was running around in Beijing looking for opportunities, he happened to hear that the crew of the popular TV series "Kangxi Dynasty" was recruiting actors.
He didn't hesitate to go immediately, but when he arrived at the scene, he found that the resumes of other actors were full of rich acting experience, while his own resumes were only a few words.
A strong sense of inferiority came over him, and he even began to wonder if he should hand in this resume.
However, the god of fate did not fail this young man who had dreamed for many years. Director Chen Jialin took a fancy to Liu Jun at a glance among the many candidates, and directly invited him to join the crew, and even let him enter the crew without even reading his resume.
Since then, Liu Jun has quickly won high recognition and praise from all members of the crew for his excellence and tireless work attitude. In particular, during the filming of a scene called "Cremation Xingsen", in order to perfectly present the character's frightened expression, he actually knelt motionless not far from the fire until the flames almost touched his cheek.
This scene made the staff present dumbfounded, and they deeply admired Liu Jun's professionalism.
It is precisely because of this wonderful performance that Liu Jun's performance in "Kangxi Dynasty" finally attracted widespread attention, and his acting career has also moved to a higher level.
What's even more rare is that in this crew, he met his soul mate - Lan Yu, a talented and beautiful woman.
The unwavering support of the husband and wife and their families
Lan Yu and Liu Jun's encounter originated from a gathering organized by friends. At that time, Lanyu was not only beautiful and extraordinary, but also talented.
After graduating from the Beijing Institute of Fashion Technology, she founded her own fashion studio and made a name for herself in the industry with her outstanding design talent.
Her original clothes have been worn on the red carpet by first-line stars such as Shu Qi and Yang Mi, and even the wedding dresses of celebrities such as Xie Na and Luo Haiqiong were also created by her. It can be said that Lan Yu combines beauty and wisdom, and she was undoubtedly the ideal partner in the minds of many men at that time.
In contrast, the 44-year-old Liu Jun is relatively low-key. The 14-year age gap between the two was once an obstacle on their way to a happy marriage.
When Lanyu's parents first heard that their daughter would choose a man who was 14 years older as her lifelong partner, their hearts were undoubtedly full of doubts and reservations. However, fortunately, Lan Yu's mother is a person who understands righteousness, and her main focus is on whether Liu Jun treats her daughter sincerely.
After learning the news, Liu Jun immediately took active action, full of anticipation and tirelessly trying to win the approval of his future mother-in-law.
Every time he goes to propose, he always carefully prepares some small gifts that can win the hearts of his elders. In addition, he also showed extreme respect for his elders, no matter how big or small, as long as he was in Lan Yu's family, he took the initiative to take responsibility and handle it properly.
The most comforting thing for the future mother-in-law is that Liu Jun solemnly promised to settle here in the future, so that the mother-in-law can visit her daughter and grandchildren at any time. Seeing Liu Jun's sincere behavior and firm commitment, Lan's mother finally nodded and agreed to the marriage.
In 2016, after hardships, the two finally tied the knot and walked hand in hand into the sacred hall of marriage. Since that moment, Lan Yu has become Liu Jun's strongest backing, and she has supported her husband's career development in an all-round way.
No matter what difficulties he faced or what achievements he achieved, his wife would always stand up without hesitation, cheer him on, love and care. And Liu Jun also moved into his wife's house as scheduled and spent a warm and harmonious time with the whole family.
With the full support of his wife and daughter, his career is shining
After marriage, with the full support of his wife Lan Yu, Liu Jun's acting career also ushered in a new glorious period. Under the encouragement and care of his wife, he successfully created a series of unforgettable "scumbag" images.
In 2018, Liu Jun played the role of "Sheng Hong" in the costume drama "Do You Know If You Should Be Green, Fat, Red and Thin", which left a deep impression on the audience. The character of Sheng Hong is greedy and selfish, addicted to gambling, indifferent to his wife and children, and only values money and power status, which can be called a typical representative of "scumbag father".
Whenever the audience recalls Sheng Hong's various bad behaviors, they all grit their teeth and are indignant.
In 2019, the urban family ethics drama "Children of the Qiao Family" was on the air, and Liu Jun once again successfully created a typical "scumbag father" image with his superb acting skills. The "Qiao Zuwang" he plays in the play is a man who is an alcoholic gambler, cold and ruthless to his wife and daughter, and an irresponsible father.
At the time, the character also sparked strong disgust and condemnation from the audience.
After Liu Jun brilliantly performed the remarkable role of "scum dad", he successfully won the reputation of "scumbag dad", and his superb and excellent acting skills were widely praised by industry insiders and audiences! However, when everyone thought that he had been "positioned", Liu Jun completed an amazing "transformation" in the latest TV series "South to North" unexpectedly.
In this series, he plays a caring father who loves his children and his wife well, which is in stark contrast to his past characters and shows a unique warmth and care.
In fact, this is not a deliberate "makeover" by Liu Jun, but the actor's superb acting skills truly show the rich lives of various characters. Over the years, no matter what type of character he creates, he has always devoted himself wholeheartedly, without hesitation, and has gone all out to restore the character's spiritual outlook and inner world.
It is this kind of professional and professional spirit that has made Liu Jun gradually grow into a high-profile actor.
Now, Liu Jun, who has been married for eight years, has a deep relationship with his wife Lanyu, and the two have a lively and lovely daughter together. Whenever Liu Jun has a chance to perform, his wife Lan Yu always bears the brunt of applauding and cheering for him, and on days when there is no work, his daughter Xiao Duoduo will also massage her father Liu Jun's back.
Such a happy and happy family life is really enviable!
